Use cases

Headcount planning software, fully costed

Resorcerer is headcount planning software built on a simple idea: a headcount plan is a version of your organization, so you should draft it like one. Copy today's structure into a sandbox, add the positions you're planning, see exactly what the plan costs, and merge it back change by change when it's approved. No spreadsheet to keep in step.

  1. 01 / 05

    Positions, filled and open

    Plan in positions, so the roles you mean to hire are on the chart before anyone accepts an offer.

  2. 02 / 05

    Rules price each position

    Set a cost per role, level and location once. Every position that matches is priced by it.

  3. 03 / 05

    Filled and vacant, costed

    Each position carries its cost, open roles included, so nothing in the plan is left unpriced.

  4. 04 / 05

    Costs roll up the tree

    See cost by unit, filled and open side by side, from each team up to the whole organization.

  5. 05 / 05

    Change the plan, see the budget move

    Add an open role and the plan's cost updates at once, ready to compare with what you have today.

Plan positions, not just people

In Resorcerer a position exists whether or not anyone fills it: a plan for twelve engineers is twelve slots, regardless of how many are hired today. That's the difference between tracking your payroll and planning your headcount. Cost reports split filled from vacant, so the number you see is what the plan costs fully staffed, not just what it costs this month.

Draft in a sandbox, merge what's approved

Protect the model that represents your real organization. Copy it into a draft ("FY27 Plan"), add and move positions freely, then compare the two models to see precisely what changed and what the difference costs. Merging brings changes back one at a time, accepted or rejected individually. Edits to the protected model are blocked; reviewed merges are the one way in. It's version control for your org structure.

Headcount scenarios, side by side

Most headcount plans start as two or three versions: hire ahead of growth, hold flat, or move people into a new team before hiring. Draft each as its own copy of today's organization and compare any two, or each one against today, on total positions, filled positions and cost. Give the planned roles start dates and the same scenario shows when each hire lands. When one is approved, merge it into the real organization and keep the others for the next round. Org scenario planning covers the workflow in full.

Costs that compute themselves

A cost profile prices positions by shape (a role, a level, a location), so every slot that matches is costed automatically and stays correct as the plan changes. Costs roll up the unit tree, breakdowns slice them by attribute, and a problems report flags any position no rule covers, so a plan can't quietly contain unpriced headcount.

Put the plan on a calendar

A position can carry a start and end date ("this role opens in March, this contractor rolls off in Q3"), and whole models can carry effective dates on a timeline, so you can hold the org as planned for each quarter. Use either, or both.

Built for the whole planning loop

Import people from a CSV and re-import to keep them current. Invite the people who own the plan, control who sees which drafts, and review every change in the audit log. Get data out through export or the REST API, and let an AI assistant query the plan directly over MCP: "what would this restructure cost?" is a question an agent can answer from the real model. For the broader design workflow, see the organizational design tool page.

Start with a worked example

The free preview gives you an example organization to explore, read-only until you upgrade: org chart, diagram and matrix views, costs, breakdowns and problem checks. Paid plans start with a 14-day free trial; see pricing.

Questions people ask

Can I price each position by role, level and location?

Yes. A cost profile gives a price to any combination of role, level, location and company. When several match a position, the most specific one wins, so you set a general rate per role and add exceptions only where the price differs.

Can I model headcount changes in one sandbox?

Yes. Copy today's organization into a draft and add, move or remove positions across any team and location in it. Compare the draft with today to see total positions, filled positions and cost for each, with the difference, before anything reaches the real organization.

How do I compare headcount scenarios?

Draft each scenario as its own copy of the organization and compare any two of them, or each one against today. Every added, removed or changed position is listed with its cost. See org scenario planning.

What happens to a position no cost rule covers?

It still counts toward headcount but adds nothing to cost, so Resorcerer flags it: the model's Summary shows an unmatched count and the problems report lists the positions concerned, so a plan can't quietly understate its budget.

Can I bring in my current headcount from a spreadsheet?

Yes, on Basic and above. Import people from a CSV, and re-importing the same file later updates the people already there rather than duplicating them. Resorcerer can then generate a model with units, positions and reporting lines from those people in one step.
